Hello!
Congratulations on getting through your first lesson!
Critique:
Lines: Your lines look really neat! In the later sections there are however lines that wobble so remember to ghost enough times before executing your lines and use your shoulder to draw confident and smooth lines. You should never redraw a line either! Your lines seem to be accurate but remember it shouldn't be your first priority.
Ellipses: Your ellipses look really nice! They seem to be drawn confidently and smoothly and are evenly shaped, which is thhe most important thing, Your accuracy is slightly off: in the ellipses in planes in some cases your ellipses don't touch all the sides of the planes and in the funnels ellipses not perfectly aligning to the minor axis, but that is completely normal and nothing to worry about. To improve in accuracy ghost enough times before drawing the ellipse.
Boxes: Your exercises from this section are also done really well! The only thing I would mention is that in the rough perspective try to keep the width lines parallel to the horizon line and height lines perpendcular to the horizon line.
Overall your exercises have all been done very well! The few things I mentioned you can address in your warm ups. You are free to move on to the 250 box challenge. Great job!

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
